Behind the line, the situation is giving less concern. In order to save himself for the more important games of the next two weeks, Captain McBride has not entered the recent practice. Sharpe, who has been Yale's best ground-gainer so far this season, and who will do all the drop-kicking, is playing left halfback. For the other halfback position, there are several prominent candidates. As Sharpe and McBride both weigh over 180 pounds, a lighter man for end-circling has been sought and found in Kiefer. Against the smaller colleges he has shown fine ability to score...
...Harvard Rifle and Pistol Club will not hold its usual fall practice shoots this year until the close of the football season in November. Then there will be the regular club matches and inter-club shoots. They will be for the purpose of developing material for the team which will represent Harvard next spring in a regular match with Yale. In this match there will be individual cups for the members of the winning team, and a special marksmanship cup for the man making the best score. During the winter dual shoots will probably be held with the various revolver...

Kinney '02, H. Dana '00, B. Blake '00, and R. E. Edwards '02. These men have all been on the regular team at one time or another. The plan of the club differs from that of previous years, in that instead...
...punting. Except for some work of Reid's after the baseball practice was over, the kicking was decidedly mediocre. Sawin and Hallowell have good form, but their punts lack distance. R. Lawrence, half-back on last year's Freshman team, was out yesterday for the first time this season. His kicking is not particularly good, but he runs well with the ball...
